Abstract

Using data derived from the H.E.S.S. telescope system and the LIDAR facility on site, a method of correcting for changing atmospheric quality based on cosmic-ray trigger-rate is presented and applied to data taken on the active galactic nuclei PKS 2155-304. These data were taken during August and September 2004, when the quality of the atmosphere at the site was highly variable. Corrected and uncorrected fluxes are shown, and the method is presented as a first step towards a more complete atmospheric calibration.
